All a Blur
This is my antidote to my more commercial mainstream activities as a pro photographer. The larger images are usually mine, the smaller reblogged images are art I like and often represent the type of images that I might like to produce working in collaboration with another.
Non-commercial sharing with credit is fine - my own images for sharing carry the Creative Commons symbol 
Please understand the ethos of Creative Commons - freeloaders using a photo in a commercial context are not welcome.
I am always looking to collaborate with the right people to produce edgy material, whether reflecting so called alternative lifestyles, fetish/edgy fashion, or nudes, especially naturalistic nudes, working together to generate personal images, pushing comfort zones but not disregarding them. I get the most out of natural light and available space.
All a blur is a reference to the passing of time - and there's been a lot of it since I first pushed my own comfort zone using myself as a model. I'm probably past my sell-by date but still doing it especially if out in the environment and no other model is handy, albeit I'd rather be shooting other people!
There is also a place here for my landscapes and street photography of people. I am looking for the best way of making all of these images available as art - prints, self-published book - still trying to figure it out.

Unless it says otherwise, all photos are captured by me and are my copyright. On Tumblr you are welcome to ‘like’ or reshare with the usual credit (to Scott H. / Allablur) and link. Otherwise there's a link to follow below which I'd be grateful if you can read before using these images in any other way.

Intrigued by the question, so did some research. Photo is by Lloyd Ziff. Mapplethorpe featured in an identical pose http://purple.fr/diary/entry/robert-mapplethorpe-and-patti-smith-1968-1969-by-lloyd-ziff-at-danziger-gallery-new-york

I have a new blog dealing with what I’ll describe as, despite not liking labels, my naturist self….
Well said!
Well. I honestly never thought that I would reblog anything shared by ‘staff’ here at tumblr, but this caught the eye.
I guess I don’t apologise for ‘selfies’ but, depending on the company, I often feel that I have to explain them. But like the initial throwing myself onto the crowded beach naked, they helped me initially accept something I was none too happy with in the mirror.
And that’s all you really need to know.
I hope that was not an apology!
Wet Standards at Bank
A few weeks ago, on one of my forays to London, primarily to be sociable but always looking for an image to capture. I have just produced an A3 print of this & it looks damn good even though this was hand held.
Although I have added the #monochrome tag, there is a tiny bit of split toning in this, something I have discovered makes for more predictable, and impactful, results from black and white printing.
Plaza Larga, Albaicin, Granada

Fag break, Torre Europa, Madrid
I do believe that I see myself in this image from Madrid. No not the cross handed lighting cigarette while on the phone technique, I do believe that I see myself.
Doing business in Madrid
This, the main square in the AZCA business district. Strangely empty. I had to wait a while for these three to appear.
“The Origins of the Settlement”
Outside Casa de los Girones, Granada. Half accident, half design.
Eleven men
Back from Madrid. This, yesterday, a few yards from the Bernabeu Stadium.
Peter
Peter runs a naturist B&B in Brighton. We got together at his place to chat about the possibility of forthcoming collaborations in anticipation of the onset of warmer weather. Unusually for a first meeting I took my camera and we spend a half hour or so briefly touring his flat and I took the opportunity to get him used to the idea of me pointing my camera at him.
I chose to fit in with the local dress code. I guess Peter is accustomed to having other people trotting around his place naked but this was all rather new for me because I have not previously shot anyone while being myself nude. I really can’t say the experience affected the shoot at all unless it was a positive one because I have to express that, considering the available time, I am very happy with these images.
Lunch over, decision made
Bishopsgate, London 2004 - this area has now been redeveloped and that copper coloured wall no longer exists. The title is inspired by the click of the finger.
An example of my commercial stock photography I have added it here because of it standing as an example of the rampant pace of development in the City of London.
City Hall, London
Captured in 2003 on grainy film, this is a view of City Hall London that is no longer available after development of this site on the opposite bank of the River Thames.
Just added to my City of London Gallery
